The 2012 Wilson Pro Tour BLX is a new cosmetic update to the control-oriented Pro Tour BLX. The 2012 Pro Tour BLX retains a classic 'tweener design, now with a more open 16x20 string pattern, 11.6 oz. strung weight and 24mm wide beam. Added control and feel from the 96 sq. in. headsize and leather-backed Pro Hybrid replacement grip. BLX builds upon the very popular K Factor design, offering a refinement of Wilson frame technology that provides the ultimate in feel and performance.

I hope this is not a misprint because wilsons site only has a 18 x 20.

I played with the K Pro Tour and loved it and was very disappointed when the announced the blx version to have a 18 x 20 pattern.

I just bought 2. <$150 final price including tax & shipping. Also both will be strung with 16g syn gut for free!!

if you got them, would you be so nice to post your experiences with us? Really interested in this one, but already tried to buy, but they were not allowed to sell outside Europe. thanks (arjanveninga@hotmail.com)

I like the Pro Open Tour but the only issue I had is that I could get good enough spin out of the extremly tight string bed to keep the ball in court.
I liked the power level and the smaller head.. just could get the needed spin on my shots.
If the 2012 does have a more open string pattern as indicated in the discription... Its a must try.

Would not be surprised if wilson goes to mid west say hey i'll make you this racquet for this much money but you have to buy a 1000. Its a way for wilson to make few bucks and help their bottom line. Head does this all the time with microgel radicals and liquidmetal racquets. Hells to this day you can still buy Ti S2

Look at tenniswarehouse they have the exclusive on prostaffs orig. So its not uncommon for companies make exclusive racquets that are not in their catalogs and sold only by one retailer.

I got the racquet and all I can say is anyone who is a fan of the K Protour can be relieved and happy. It's is basically the same as the K Protour with it's 16x20 pattern and same specs.

I'll post more when I string it up and play with it.

Can you measure it unstrung?
- static weight
- balance
- tipweight (take a kitchen scale and punt in on a table. put the tip in the middel of the scale and grip on the table. (somewhere between 145 and 155?).
